How We Grow & Serve
At Bethel there are so many ways to grow in Christ and be effective in the kingdom. Below you will find the ministries that contribute to your growth, times of corporate prayer, and opportunities to serve.
Bible Study
Super Thursday
Join us for our Super Thursday Service {Bible Study} @7pm. Bishop Jackson is a teacher in every sense of the word. If you are looking for a church that teaches you the word of God, then Bethel is the place for you. You will learn things you never knew, you will grow, and you will be challenged. But most importantly you will become an ambassador for Christ ready to spread the gospel.
Every Wednesday
Watch Night Prayer
Wednesday night is a special time of corporate prayer that takes place from our homes in half hour intervals starting at 6pm to midnight. The structure is simple but very powerful when the body all join together in unity over these subject areas. Click the button to choose a topic and a time slot and pray!

Praying For The Lost
Breastplate Prayer
We are Priests of the Lord and it is our job to pray for those who are lost and can not get to God on their own. The breastplate model was created by Bishop Jackson from Aarons breastplate. Aaron carried the 12 tribes, we carry 12 lost individuals. The 12 are broken down into 3 Family Members, 3 Friends, 3 People in our Community{co-workers}, and 2 Strangers{celebrities, government officials, etc.}. So many people have been saved by way of breastplate prayer.
We invite you to create a breastplate and join us for prayer Tuesday - Friday at 5:00am.

Conquer Your Mountain
Mobilization
This ministry is all about conquering the Seven Mountains of Influence. Those mountains are Arts & Entertainment, Education, Business, Family, Government, Media, and Religion. As Christians we work in these different areas and are striving to infiltrate them and save souls.
Media Ministry
The media ministry is responsible for overseeing all video, audio, lights, and live streaming during services. If you desire to be a part of this ministry we would love to have you!
See Jonelle Berry after service to find out more about joining.
Discipleship Class
Discipleship is a great learning experience. It takes you deeper into the knowledge of God and it helps you to establish a strong foundation. Elder Sowell is the instructor and he has created an amazing manual. A few of the topics covered are The TriUnity of God, The Six-Day Creation & Seventh Day Sabbath, Mans Fall & Redemption, Sanctification, The Millenium, and so much more. Each night of class there is a quiz and a final exam at the end.
The students who take this class have so much fun and some even take it multiple times. If you are interested in this course, speak with Elder Sowell.
Molding Our Youth

Ushers & Greeters
The ushers and greeters are in place to serve the ministry and people of BOIC! We are always looking for friendly people and smiling faces to be apart of our ministry. See Deacon Danny Smith after church if you are interested in serving with us!
